I have this rash around my belly button that I think is from a type of gauze I used 2 days post op or from safeguard soap not sure. Should I use cortisone or something on it? It doesn't itch but it's nasty looking.

Answer: Skin rash This is either an allergic reaction to the tape that was used or possibly a fungal rash. I would recommend a steroid containing fungal cream like Mycolog. You should definitely check with your plastic surgeon and follow their recommendations. Good luck!
